Affordable Fun Car! - 2005 Suzuki Aerio
By slsawyer - September 30 - 10:00 pmThe Suzuki Aerio wasnt my first choice, but it was definitely the right choice! It has a roomy interior and lots of head room. It is great for going uphill with overdrive off. I am still breaking in the gas mileage rate. The first comments from everyone who sees it is "Cute!" So far it has been very reliable. I put it in the league with Honda/Toyota, only affordable. The interior seat fabric could be upgraded though. Also, the sway bar and passenger mirror had to be replaced right away, but that has been the only problem. I love this car!

A Car That Really CAN! - 2005 Suzuki Aerio
By Steve - August 4 - 10:23 pmThis is about the new, very improved 2005 Aerio AWD wagon, whch stashes an amazing amout of cargo, and still allows plenty of room for people and pets. Ive known of the Aerio wagon for several years, and have driven it on occasion in various parts of the country, always with admiration. However, the elegant and sophisticated interior upgrades prove that an already great car can become greater! The 6 CD sound system, with 7 speakersand woofer provide concert hall acoustics along with steering wheel adjustments. And the headroom for tall people is miles beyond the norm. Nothing really compares with this Aerio wagon, with its AWD --which is usually only found in more expensive vehicles What this car offers under $20,000 is so exceptional that its hard to imagine what else Suzuki could further provide that would enhance the integrity of this vehicle anyfurther. Its a great driving machine, with plenty of heart!

I enjoy my little wagon - 2005 Suzuki Aerio
By burt weiss - May 2 - 11:50 pmPicked Aerio SX after much hands on comparison with Pontiac Vibe and Toyota Matrix. The Aerio has much more equipment, is much peppier up hills, and costs about $3,000 less. It might depreciate faster than the Toyota, but I plan to keep car until the end of its warranty, at least seven years. What I like most about the car is how it is so easy to get in and out of. You dont sit down in this car, you sit up - just slide right in and buckle up. It has lots of foot room and lots of headroom in the back. Does this height compromise cornering? As I do not do high speed chases through town, I havent noticed. There is an occasional creak coming from somewhere that I could do without. Also, I would have liked 16" wheels. This car has a great stereo. I can tune in out of town ball games.

Price, warranty, and economy - 2005 Suzuki Aerio
By Ron Pink - August 8 - 1:23 pmI love my Aerio, especially its great fuel economy. At 65 miles per hour I am getting 35 to 40 mpg which has been a great suprise since it was rated at 25 and 32 respectively.

Best Little Car Around - 2005 Suzuki Aerio
By miliboi84 - July 31 - 6:46 pmGreat Car, it gives you everything you need with only a few drawbacks. Besides the cheap interior plastics, it is great. Room in the front and back seats are good, storage is great, performance is good, and finally it is fun to drive.

love it ! - 2005 Suzuki Aerio
By Mike Lapietra - July 28 - 2:53 amI bought this car in the dead of the Canadian winter and had to commute many days through snow, ice and slush. With the ABS, AWD and heated mirrors this is a great car if you live in Canada. It is a lot of fun to drive and it is loaded. It looks small, but there is lots of space inside for the passengers and when you fold the back seat you really have a good station wagon. Also, the drivers seat can be pumped up very high, so you will have great visibility. So far I am really happy with it and the Suzuki dealership I bought it from offers outstanding customer service.

Lucky Lady - 2005 Suzuki Aerio
By Kim - November 8 - 9:53 amI named my Aerio "Lucky Lady." Its been months and Im still crazy about driving it. Im a regional store manager, and drive little winding mountain roads every day. I upgraded the factory tires with Yokohama TRZ and have had no problem getting to my distant store in snow or ice. I never miss work! My passengers are always amazed by the comfort and roominess of the interior. My boss loves my trunk space. He is always loading me down with cases of drinks. Anyone ever heard of Old Fort Mountain in NC? My Lucky Lady loaded with drinks, can do 60+ over it and I pass everyone. Its great gas mileage is a bonus in times like this.

Wish I could buy another!! - 2005 Suzuki Aerio
By leigh2 - August 29 - 8:02 amI bought this in January 08 with 35k miles on it. After having a Caravan & Suburban..... I could not be happier!! It is finally getting ready for semi-retirement with 206k miles on it. I drive 500-700 miles/week. Outside of regular routine maintenance {Oil changes, tires, brakes, transmission flushes} I have no other issues with this car until recently and that would be due to "old age." The seats are not that comfortable for my frame but I have enjoyed every minute of this car. The cargo space is unbelievable for the size! I can fit 2 people, 2 - 90 lb. dogs and gear for an overnight hiking trip without issue. Id go for the SX4 in a heartbeat if they hadnt made it smaller.

Killa Deal - 2005 Suzuki Aerio
By Kyle B - July 20 - 11:20 amI had a Grand Vitara and wanted to look for another that was automatic. When I saw the SX it immediatley started to grow on me. I paid 15,500 loaded including ABS and climate control. For the money you cant beat it. It is fun to drive, easy to operate, and the car does turn heads. A warranty that takes the pain out of ownership is also a big plus. I love the way that it handles and it is very peppy while still maintaining good mileage. If you are looking to have a great little road rocket without emptying your pocket this is a great choice.
